After Gaurav Gera's performance in Dhurandhar: The Revenge drew praise, Ranvir Shorey said on X, "One of the most talented and underrated actors of the country." He added the actor doesn’t get enough credit for his digital work and said he’s glad audiences are finally waking up to his talent.

Actor Gaurav Gera has been receiving praise since his appearance in the 2025 film Dhurandhar, where he played Aalam Bhai, the Lyari-based handler of Indian intelligence agent Jaskirat Singh Rangi, aka Hamza Ali Mazari, who goes undercover to dismantle a terror network in Karachi. Known for selling doodh soda in a musical style at his Lyari juice shop, Gera reprised the role in Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2), where his character takes on a more powerful and emotional arc.

Ranvir Shorey Praises Dhurandhar Actor Gaurav Gera

Ranvir Shorey praised Gaurav Gera, calling him one of the most 'underrated' actors in the country, while reacting to an X user who lauded the actor, previously known for his viral character Chutki. The user noted that despite his talent, Gera was rarely offered serious roles, but Dhurandhar changed that as he completely transformed into Aalam Bhai. The post also stated that many viewers did not even recognise him, that he carried the post-interval scenes in Dhurandhar 2, and that audiences will now remember him for this role.

In response, Ranvir wrote on X (Twitter), "One of the most talented and underrated actors of the country! Besides that, he also doesn’t get enough credit for being one of the pioneers of great digital content in India! @gauravgera is a genius and a powerhouse of talent, and I’m glad the world is finally waking up to him!"
